My Genesis: A Second Chance Love Story Book Review - No Spoilers
Plot Summary
"Genesis: A Second Chance Love Story" by Aubry J. is a heartfelt, funny romance about two exes—Megan and Genesis "Krude" DeCorte—who find themselves circling back to each other after life, heartbreak, and growth have pulled them apart. Megan broke things off with Krude when she realized she was growing up and he wasn’t. But for Krude, the story wasn’t over. When a family event (a baby shower!) throws them together again, Krude sets out with stubborn, laugh-out-loud determination to win Megan—and his family—back. Krude isn’t above wild moves or shameless stunts, from cleaning out a house to making grand gestures, all to prove he’s ready for love and responsibility this time. Their journey is messy, packed with humor, and powered by family chaos and honest attempts at moving forward. The story finds a satisfying balance between laugh-out-loud comedy and genuine emotion as the two try to rewrite their ending.
Why I Love This Book
I love the energy and heart in this book. Krude is wild, stubborn, and so easy to root for, even when he’s being absolutely ridiculous. I laughed at his antics and admired how fiercely he goes after what he wants—especially Megan and their future together. But what really got me was the depth underneath the chaos: both characters are growing, fighting to be better, and trying to overcome old patterns. Megan is strong and honest about what she wants, and her journey feels just as important as Krude’s. The whole DeCorte family is hilarious and loving in their unique ways, making every family get-together a scene-stealer. I was surprised by how sweet and sincere the romance is, even when things spiral into family drama or over-the-top stunts. The combination of madcap humor, second-chance love, and emotional growth made me invested from start to finish.
The book strikes a perfect balance between steamy chemistry and laugh-out-loud moments, so I was flipping pages quickly. Family plays a huge role—not just as background, but as real forces driving the characters to confront their pasts and claim something new. And I always appreciate when a romance makes me root for both leads to grow, not just get back together. The ending left me satisfied and still wanting more stories from this wild, lovable crew.
Who Will Like This Book
If you love second-chance romance, wild family antics, and main characters who are a bit over the top, this book is for you. You’ll enjoy it if you like laugh-out-loud dialogue, heroes who fight hard for their families, and heroines who know their own worth. This is also perfect for anyone looking for romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still delivers real emotional payoff. If you want a book where the hero isn’t perfect—but is absolutely devoted—you’ll fall for Krude, and if you like romance with strong family themes and a good dose of chaos, this will hit the spot.
